Absolute Noir

Wow. Where do I start? Well... First and foremost, I'd like to point out, this is my first review, as someone who has grown a love and addiction for fragrance just about 6 months ago or so, I really love Atralia. I don't own any Creeds, but I had my coworker bring in his Creed Aventus, and let me tell you, the dry down between these two was pretty damn close. I know this is supposed to dupe Absolu Aventus, but I get more of a Aventus vibe. I also own Afnan Supremacy LE and hands down I prefer Atralia Absoulu over it any day of the week. The pineapple in LE, in my opinion, is way toooo strong for me and ruins it, but the pineapple in Atralia is noticeably toned down, which makes the fragrance and overall smell more enjoyable for me. I think LE would be perfect for someone looking for more of a youthful smell. while Atralia, on the other hand, smells more masculine and sophisticated. The performance on Atralia isn't beastmode or anything like that but for the price, I think it's very solid and justified. I get about 5-6 hours, the first two hours are the heaviest, people at work are always asking me "who smells so good?", so I know it has great sillage. After that two to three hour mark or so it tones down and becomes more a skin scent. I spray about 15 sprays and reapply to fix the performance issue lol. Overall, I think Atralia Absoulu is one of the most underrated Middle Eastern dupes out there. I don't see it being hyped up too much, but for the price and the quality of this juice, I think this is a must cop for anyone who wants their hands on a affordable fragrance, with that creed DNA.

For me, this is the sweet spot of the Aventus Absolute clones that I possess. I have this, Afnan CE, and Armaf Precieux. This was $24 dollars at my local Ross, and compared to the others listed, this is an absolute STEAL. I payed about 40 for the Afnan, and around 60 for the Armaf (for 50ml of course). I can see myself being absolutely content as using this as my ONLY fragrance in my collection, both for scent and for the price. It performs very well on my skin, around 6-8 hours, and I couldn't be happier. I actually prefer this scent to the others listed as well. Though the Armaf would be a close 2nd. The Afnan CE is VERY cloying when first sprayed, due to its crazy silage and Pineapple sweetness. It smells like I opened a can of syrupy Pineapple juice. Smells great in Dry down though. The Armaf isn't as sweet to me, but its still great, and also has a great dry down. But its kinda expensive for just a 50ml. The Atralia is just absolutely beautiful from opening to drydown, and doesn't punch you in the face with sweetness. (no alcohol blast either). The sweetness that is does have, goes away fairly quickly too. Amazing for all seasons, any reasons. If you are like me and are moving away from sweet frags, this is a great pickup for the price, especially at $25. Highly recommended. Update: This lasts around 12 hours on my skin on more testing. Absolutely shocked how much value is in the frag, it's insane!

0 similarities to cdnim, people legit are trippin nowadays or maybe there is post cdnim stress disorder for people who didn't like it. I dont have aventus absolu but I do have precieux 1, and noir absolu is different from it. Precieux is heavier in the oakmoss and you can feel some floral sweetness and smoky citrus. Noir absolu has some more spiciness especially in the open, it feels like it has a different kind of sweetness, more pineapple and maybe the watermelon / grapefruit as well ? The fruits here are different than precieux, they play a bigger part in this perfume You can then feel the darker elements of absolu noir ( moss - patchouli ) while still smelling the fruity sweetness and spiciness. So I would say absolu noir is a fruity sweet spicy with not dominant heavy scents ( patchouli - moss ) making it more airy and light and more versatile and wearable during the day and in hotter days While precieux is more floral-sweet oakmoss wood dominant and more dense and more professional and classy Side note: I compared those fragrances only because they supposedly clone aventus absolu, but in terms of similarity, precieux and noir absolu are too different to give an estimation, the opening, the mid, the dry down, they are just too different. They are not redundant as well in my opinion , because the scents are different and you could say that the occasions are also potentially different

I'm the guy who's gonna macerate all of 'em, soon as they arrive. I've got a couple that the macerating process has worked on, so, just to be on the safe side, I open 'em, spritz a few, then, put it up for a month, before making a final decision if I like it or not. Having said that, I can't wait for the month to be up for this one, even though, it just arrived today! I'm happy for the arrival of any of the fragrances that I purchase, anxious to get it in the air, see what new delight I now possess. I love the new smell, and, figuring out just how I'm going to utilize it, what situations is it going to be best suited for. My first reaction to THIS one is if it gets any better, I can't imagine that it wouldn't be one of the top compliment-getters that I own. Even if it doesn't, I'm extremely pleased with what I'm smelling! I do look forward to updating this review, once I get full opportunity to test-drive this beast. Update: Finally got to spend some time with it, and, I am beyond pleased with this scent. This is one of those where no one has to say it...you already know that you smell exceptional! Projection, sillage...excellent. Can't recommend Atralia Absolute Noir enough!

Found this at Burlington and glad I bought it. I have hundreds of fragrances and honestly I have not heard of this brand. But it is a banger. The presentation is quality, cap is a little on the cheaper side. Super pressurized sprayer. The juice is very good, I’ll keep it simple starts off adventus inspired kinda Bleu de Chanel in the mid and the dry down is a more pleasant Sauvage Elixir. Fresh out of the bottle no aging lasted 8+ hours and good scent trail with a 4’ silage. Trust me this is a keeper and could be a signature scent. Because it is an anywhere, anytime scent. For me this is a solid 8+

Fantastic smell with great performance. It projects heavily and lasts all day, I’ve gotten a lot of compliments with this one. HOWEVER.. I would not recommend applying directly before any intimate encounters. In the air the scent is divine, but for the first hour or two if you put your nose close to it, it has a harsh and synthetic smell that feels piercing. It does not have that problem as it dries down, but definitely worth noting

This is a absolutely fantastic take on the dna for the price. Leans more fruity in the opening similar to CdN Precieux but more bergamot forward. This does move into the mid and base faster and is more oakmoss forward than most absolu dupes. The watermelon is a nice and welcomed twist. I get a solid 8-9 hours of longevity out of this with 1-2 hrs of good projection,about 6 of moderate. and in hours 7-9 a skin scent. a solid 9/10.

I blind bought the full bottle after trying ASCE, as I heard this version has a lighter pineapple note. Indeed, it features less pineapple and more mossy, musky undertones, creating a pleasant and balanced scent overall. It’s suitable for daily wear, such as at the office or school in all weather. I believe this bottle might benefit from some maceration to achieve a better overall result.

Very well-blended and smells like quality. Haven't smelt Absolu for several months but this is definitely reminiscent of it. Fruitiness and pink pepper is front and centre. For £22 it's an absolute yes. Fresh and smooth. Atomiser is fantastic, better than any of my other much more expensive fragrances. edit - there is something feminine-leaning about this, something pretty about it.

This was a blind buy for me, but it was absolutely worth it. For me, it performs best during fall or on cool evenings, but I believe it can work well for almost any occasion, whether it’s daytime or nighttime. If you find it on clearance or for anything under CAD $35, I’d definitely recommend picking it up.

This is what Supremacy Collectors Edition wears to a job interview. It’s a more refined version, elevated, less playful and more masculine. I’d say wear Supremacy when you’re out with the boys and wear this one when you’re meeting her parents

It changes with time. At first it’s very linear but let it macerate for a couple months and it gets some depth to it. Not a clone of anything. It is its own thing. Great atomizer, so affordable. Great scent.

I for sure get sauvage elixir and aventus. Way way to spicy for me. If you're into aventus and elixir I can see this being for you. I'm not into elixir or heavy spice though. Not a safe blind buy either.

Let me be the first to comment on this scent. It's a fresh take on Absolu Aventus, some might say it's somewhere between that and older smoky batches of Aventus. For the price, it's an absolute steal.

Absolute gem. Blind buy was absolutely worth it. When you dont think you'll find a daily.. and then find this... beautiful by itself.. I layer it with marwa as my latest daily

Need to let it sit and stew but first impressions, so well blended. Great scent. Worth the money!! Will come back once it’s set for a month.

Slightly aventus absolu opening, sauvage elixir drydown, +12h longevity, insane quality for the price. Excelent.

Alternative for AA and those who like smoky A will like this too. Nothing close to Asad or Cdnum Elixir.

Reminds me of Dyptique lombre dans leau. nice scent lasts long and projects well

Smells really good, but this is not a beast mode fragrance in my opinion.

The drydown reminds me of roja’s Apex.for the price it’s spot on

Powerful, commanding fragrance, had many compliments

This is definitely a clone of 2 fragrances mixed together. The opening is aventus, and the mid is where both are noticeable and the drydown is sauvage elixer. To be fair the mid is much more elixer than it is aventus. The top nots do fade quickly and after the first hour they are gone completely. This is not unusual for a fragrance as the top notes are meant to fade. I dont really notice a terribly synthetic opening . There no alcohol detected at least to me. I actually think this is a well made fragrance that doest smell cheap at all. I think its closer to elixer than it is asad as well. I love the sauvage line. I own multiple bottles of each in the line currently and have gone through multiple bottle of each flanker including elixer. I also didnt need to allow my bottle to mature either. I got 8 plus hours of longevity right out of the box. I haven't worn it alot as its almost summer and in my opinion , is not well suited for this time of year. Maybe by fall it will have become a beast after sitting for months. For the price its well worth it. If you are looking for an alternative to elixer maybe this could be it. Im not sure is this is an alternative to aventus absolu as ive heard absolu smells more like green Irish tweed and aventus not elixer. But many channels on YouTube are claiming its a clone of aventus absolu. It makes you wonder if some of these fragrance talking heads have actually owed or at least smelled the fragrances they do videos about.

Just got this on so it's too early to tell, but my initial impression is great. Nice aroma from first spray! I went anosmic almost immediately, most likely due to the ambroxan. Wore it to the grocery store after work with about 3-4 sprays, and I could smell it as I walked around. You know how when you walk in or out of a store there's that giant blast of air? This sillage filled out up as I walked out. Don't smell this one up close - it's not bad, but the real work happens in the air, as it dissipates and diffuses. It gets close to Absolu Aventus without being Absolu Aventus. It's lighter, more airy - but still strong. Side by side, Absolu Aventus has more of a depth to it, smelling more natural. This one doesn't have the same weight (initially, anyway), and that's a good thing - it was hot today. You can pull this one off in the heat. I personally would not wear Absolu Aventus in this heat, but I'd wear this or Afnan Supremacy Collector's Edition, or maybe even Precieux. It's right there along with those, not quite Absolu Aventus but taking inspiration from it. A fantastic fragrance all around. Looking forward to what this will become as it settles and blends (or "macerates" as some say). Bravo. Grade A fragrance for me. I highly recommend it.

This stuff is surprisingly good! I’d heard a lot of hype Which made me think it was probably really meh Then i saw the note breakdown And the watermelon note was a red flag ..not my style But I saw some reviews and heard it was a strong sweet Smokey masculine scent So I decided to try it if I could get a good deal.. And when I saw if for $21 I decided to grab it 3 days later it arrived Not only does it smell good but it projects nicely not a beast but within arms length for sure The “watermelon” note is not prominent at all It IS a sweet smokey scent, but still masculine and fresh enough that you could wear this as a daytime office scent It reminds me most of dumont nitro intense but where that one’s apple note is more prominent This one is more well blended & balanced Gonna get a back up bottle. I’ll update if it changes dramatically over the next couple months. PS...Don’t buy this! Cuz I want the prices low so I can buy more TIA

#1405 in my "Tour de Fragrance" I have to go with the crowd on this one. At first I totally smelled Creed "Aventus Absolu", and in five minutes I totally smelled Dior "Sauvage Elixir" as all the fruity notes disappeared. Bummer. I liked all the fruitiness. But I also like this dry down enough to make it worth the small cost, though not as much as I would have if the fruit had held on beyond the opening. Good longevity on the skin, but the initial sillage shrank to amr's length with the fruit notes disappearance. So I find myself somewhat disappointed by an otherwise good scent. Safe for any environment, season, purpose. Definitely masculine. Spayer's kinda cheap and flimsy and would probably break if you aren't careful with it. Overall worth the money, but so far my least favorite Atralia. I'd say get the Equest series first, then Elixir, then the Amazonas. This would be last on my list so far.

So I haved had this fragrance now for a few weeks and I have let it macerate for a bit just to see how it develops with some time. On the opening you get some harsh and sharp grilled pineapple. With a touch of almost mossy woody undertones. Be careful because this scent is strong and you can go nose blind very quickly with this one. The sillage off the initial spray is decent but after about an hour I would say it sits closer to the skin. The fragrance is easy going but it does take a little bit to get used to. On the dry down as the scent sits on the skin the roasted pineapple softens up but then a slight almost burnt rubber tire comes across. I know the scent sounds weird but it really isnt that off putting. It also feels like it has an underlying incense note as well. I have never smelt the OG it is a dupe of so I can not compare it to that. But, on its own, it's a decent fragrance.

Right out of the box, it seems extremely weak. I get a very faint fruity peppery smell that smells nice. I'm putting this back in the box and I'm going to let it sit for at least 6 weeks. 12 Sprays on my arms and it's barely a skin scent within a half hour. I like to be surrounded in a scent cloud. If I didn't purchase this from a very reputable seller, I would think I got a knockoff. I think this will get better with age though. After wearing this a few times I'm starting to like it a little more. You get the Asad/ SE DNA but it's just not as rich. That pepper seems to drown out the other notes. I don't get any watermelon from it - maybe that's a good thing. Projection and longevity are below average but don't trust me it seems I've become a little nose blind lately.

8.5/10 I wore this a few times before rating it and it hasn't changed much through a couple weeks of maturation. Great atomizer, but the juice - I think I'm going completely nose blind to it or it's just a super weak batch I received. Update: literally changed almost overnight, never had such a significant change before. At almost exactly three weeks and four wears into it, it went from a couple hours longevity to 6hrs. There's also a nice clove/cinnamon/spice/smoky note that has developed. Revising score to reflect the changes. Update: projects for a couple hours like crazy. The pineapple and watermelon and really come to the party early, then it settles into a nice even masculine bubble.

I get a lot of the grapefruit, melon and oak moss up top and a whole lot of sticky pineapple on the dry down. I can pick it up on my skin well over 12 hours after applying, though I go anosmic extremely quickly only for it to come back periodically. Probably only noticeable to others for 8-10 hours. Projects for 3 or 4. Smells great. For the price, if you like the Aventus DNA, I just don’t see why you’d skip it. Atomizer is outstanding for those that care

I'll be clear. On the way out it is critical-sweet and can remind you of Creed Aventus Absolu. But already in drying it takes a big turn & becomes a hybrid between the latter and the Dior Sauvage Elixir. In which you will feel super spicy and will come to remember a citric-sweet version of the Sauvage Elixir. I wouldn't say it's a net clone of Aventus, but rather it's more of a Dior Sauvage Elixir clone by 80%.

***NOT REVIEWING AS A CREED CLONE!*** The opening is a blend of pepper and fruits. However, the dry down of moss/vetiver/ambroxan is lovely and lasts a long time. The scent gives grown up, Although the DNA isn't my taste, I can't hate it. It's just a good, masculine scent for a low price ($25-$35). Bottle and atomizer are great (as usual for atralia). Cap is ok.

This bottle has less pineapple and a more balanced scent compared to Supremacy Collector's Edition, but Collector's Edition lasts longer (over 9 hours). I prefer the scent of Absolute Noir because it’s more balanced and cheaper, though it only lasts about 7 hours. For me, that’s enough since I like Aventus more than Aventus Absolu anyway.

This sent required up to six months of master maturation I hated it at first after 6 months and 70 more fragrances I actually really like it for date night and professional settings If u don’t like something that most people do , give it time and you might like it ... unless it asad Zanzibar that shit is trash lol Happy smelling friends

This is a super affordable spicy beast. It lies a little bit on the synthetic side but for the price you can't blame it. It also has a great atomizer, super sexy. It has some slight fruity accords but goes quickly to a much more dark, spicy experience. It's decent, got what I paid for. Longevity and sillage is unmatched.

At first I didn't think this was that good but that pepper note is just fire. I wish the citruses and patchouli were more prominent that are just too far in the background. But overall, I really like this stuff. Super cheap too, and a really nice bottle. Only lasts about 4 hours though.

This smells like English Laundry London (dupe of Creed Aventus) mixed with Sauvage Elixir. It has the similar smoky citrus/pineapple note but toned down and not screechy and a little of the pepper from Sauvage Elixir. I like it.

Smells like Drakkar Noir to me. Came as a total surprise because of the "Smells like" section above... riiiiiight. Luckily I like Drakkar Noir so whatever, but yeah this is no where near anything in the "smells like" section.

Scent profile is beautiful considering price, I must admit. Performance was initially below expectation which seems to be improved after a couple of weeks of maceration. I am loving this frag.

This perfume was suit only come before. And how want to cold minded there for it is. I love this. I use for 2 days it comes my expectations. I give 10 out of 8.5

An intense male fragrance that performs like a beast with merely one pump of its atomizer spray. On my skin, I did not detect vetiver, patchouli, or grapefruit. I experienced initial sharp citrus and pink pepper top notes that dissipate quickly, leaving behind a dominant ambroxan, aquatic-like melon, and aromatic oakmoss. It lingered for 6+ hours. ___ I gifted my bottle to a gent who has been a "ride or die" green-bottle-Polo- cologne wearer since time began. He used this immediately and it was fabulous and long-lasting on him to both our delight.

This smells exactly like the CDNIM (not precieux I) Same harsh synthetic opening. I barely detect the pineapple and no watermelon whatsoever. Very linear. Drydown is smokey. Maybe needs some time to develop? EDIT: Seems like I hurt some feelings above lol, opinions are subjective so I don’t give a damn. Back to the fragrance, it has changed a lot after maturation. It’s now less pungent. I’m getting some oud nuances. Smokier for sure. Sweet and mature. Definitely a masculine scent. Chill out and relax guys

decent scent very alcohol heavy has a nice woody and somewhat spicy scent some people claim that they catch a fruit/sweet scent in the opening but i just cant seem to find it but none the less its a great budget scent its basic and versatile. 7.9/10 scent 10/10 price 8/10 compliment getter 1000/10 atomizer

Never been a fan of any Aventus DNA, so I may be a bit biased. All I can get out of this is pink pepper, moss, and a bit of sweetness from the pineapple. The pink pepper is very heavy and could be polarizing for some people. I guess for the value its alright, but I wouldn’t blind buy it.

it’s okay nothing crazy not something i would reach for a lot, i’ll let it sit for a couple weeks

Fruitier Sauvage Elixir. It's fine. I go anosmic to it fairly quickly.

This really reminds me of my CDN Urban Man Elixir (savauge EDT) minus the pineapple. I layered urban man with my aventus dupe and it's really close to this. It's really nice. Doesn't smell like Asad atleast to me

Wow! Why on earth would someone say that this smells like garbage CDNIM because it simply does not!! This stuff does not smell like lemon pledge furniture cleaner at all. I smell a fruity, not smokey peppery earthy woody scent. It's fantastic to me! It's not harsh. Mind you, I did spray it once or twice when I first got it a month ago, but it smelled great then. I will say, it is a scent for the over 30 crowd. It's not a summer blue frag. It's more of an evening out scent, but I could be worn whenever. I have never smelled Absolu Aventus, but I have smelled CDNIM. That stuff is trash. Absolu Noir is not even the same and smells much better. Sauvage or Sauvage Elixer? Not close to those either. Thats insane! I'd say it's an easy blind buy if your a fan of slightly darker, not overly sweet woody scents. Don't buy it if your all about sweet, fruity summer or cool weather frags. Overall, it's bang for your buck. It projects strong for an hour but closer to the skin for another 5 to 6hrs. You can spray more than usual. ( Im a 5 sprayer on most but with this go 8) The pressurized atomizer is ridiculous especially for the price. Good stuff in my opinion.

I'm not sure if I got a bad bottle but this smells like a earthy pineapple. Almost like a smoked, spicy pineapple. I have Dumont Oros, more Hacivat than Aventus, and 5 Aventus clones, and this doesn't smell anything like those. I can't get past this note. It almost smells like Pineapple and Garlic!! A certain influencer who lately does more woman's perfumes than colognes said this was signature scent worthy, I guess either I got ripped, or this does smell like Aventus Absolu and I simply don't like that fragrance. In my opinion I still rank Mont Blanc Explorer as the best OG dupe, and I layer that with almost anything. If you like it, Enjoy.

Love this stuff. Never smelled absolute Aventus but it definitely has that Aventus smell with a sauvage elixir hybrid kinda style. Mostly that ambroxian, kinda sweet licorice smell that’s in Sauvage elixer but with a spicy fresh and very slightly fruity scent. This is a big compliment getter from women. I’ve gotten a compliment every time I’ve worn it Last pretty long I’ve gotten complimented on this in the winter 5-6 hours into wearing it. but I’m an over sprayer I’ll spray 15-20 sprays. I spray in the same spot
